thank you for the ever so sweet & amazingfeedback on the announcement of our2nd photo art series !

to clarify & answer some of yourwonderings; the a mad girl’s love song serieswill consist of five photographs.two of ’the girls’ could be seen here;jillian and helena,~ & the other three is shown here.we give you lelia {above}, whosees through her heart, hasselblad style.then there’s jane ..

.. the heroine, who knows not to judge,as she knows that in every person’s storythere are “unknowns, ~ struggles only they knowabout..” * and who has a layer oflovingly scanned 200 year + antique french glasssilvered plate, to top off her mystery.

last but not least, there’s sam.named after the fictitious name of mark twain;samuel, or sam as he was called, ~ the man to whom so many wise & funnysayings can be attributed.one of which the oh so hard,but ah so true words-to-live-bycarried on the back of our sam; at the same time lace flounce fragileand full of fortitude..

and there you have ’em.they’re all heroines in their own way, warriors of love for sure,~ & all in the format closest to our photographer’s heart;the square one; but still so thinking outside the box.

they’re all printed the way we think theyshould be seen, ~ & the way photo art is usually at its best;big & bold, to make a statement on your walls.

we love that you love photo art just as much as we do,~ & we are so happy about the response to thefirst series of photographs, where one is sold out any day now, and the rest are also being shipped toall parts of the world in a steady stream.

following up the success of that, we are about tolaunch a second series of photographsby hannah lemholt, our honey warrior.for this series we’re printing on a modern material,loved by all the stylists; one with a bit of both;sheen and sturdiness, ~ & the prints willcome with two clips for hanging casually cool.

the series is called a mad girl’s love songand in hannah’s own words it’s a‘series of distorted portraits, contorted intonew life. a book of love and a mad girl’slove song. inspired by, among other writers;the works of sylvia plath.’

we’re happy they’re already being used for lovely magazine shoots,~ & the first shipment is in the air;heading for the lovely down under of surfer de luxe & boho chic, toaustralia’s stunning les interieurs.

it is worth repeating for the photo art volume two series,the words of anne tucker;

all art requires courage

the love warrior agrees & are already fallingfor the mad girl and her love song..

we receive so much love from you, almost exclusionary just that, – love.the only time we’ve bumped into any kind of opposition,it’s been with just a few of your voices;wondering about the skulls of the love warriors ’lace longhorns’.how ever few; non the less important.and as we’ve answered those few e-mails, we’d like to take the opportunity, in this our love log,to tell more of you, the story about it..

craftmanship and knowledge about working with bone and hornis actually the very speciality of this little artisan village of indonesia.it’s an untainted, innate and loving kind of ’holistic’ view,if we ever witnessed one, – of animal handling. of not lettinganything go to waste, but rather treat every part and last bit,with respect, knowledge and putting a whole lot of hoursinto doing so. it’s never a question of using an animal for onlymaking a beautiful skull, but always one of making beautyout of what otherwise would be thrown away.

the connection with this family, their beauty andthe feeling of being treated to strong, sweet coffee in their garden, of the fumbling but delightful attempts ofconversation, – that’s not as easily told about. we hope the photos speak some of it.

one of the {many} perks of being a love warrioris you get to enjoy the prototypes. the true joy part of the enjoy is when yourealize the prototypes become the go-to-things,~ like the leather laptop cases, which has turnedout to be just that; our go-to-bag.

another true joy part of the enjoyis the laughter when we all come togetherfor meetings, and there’s two of the lace andone of the skull kind laying on the table; in total commitment and love for the brand, which is all totally how it should be !sara has her brown lace one filled withsketches, illustrations and magazine tear offs,honeypie’s black holds a whole mess ofsmall props and magazines, ~ & warrior mamaactually uses her for what the cases weremeant for in the first place; her laptop.

..it is a true joy and pure loveto see one’s ideas turn into reality, and turn into use and see it work.

we’re just happy.and we hope you are too !and as for sharing the lace {& skull-} love,it’s being worked at frenetically and is making itsway into le shop soon; in the upcoming indian summer selection.
